ERB Editor C. Christopher Smith hosted a wide-ranging conversation with first-time guest, Lore Ferguson Wilbert, and repeat guest, Ragan Sutterfield, in which they touched on various topics including: processing the recent U.S. election, grief and lament, pace and time, rootedness and place, story, and of course, what they have been recently reading.
Lore Ferguson Wilbert is an award winning writer, thinker, learner, and author of the books, The Understory, A Curious Faith and Handle With Care. Ragan Sutterfield is a priest in the Episcopal Church and serves a parish in his native Arkansas. Ragan’s writing and interests are focused at the intersection of spiritual formation and ecology where he brings his background in birding, permaculture, and soil ecology into conversation with philosophy, theology, and the Christian spiritual tradition. Ragan is the author of The Art of Being a Creature: Meditations on Humus and Humility (Cascade), among other books.
